More attractive outdoor seating thanks to markilux pergola stretch

In the middle of the Kitzbühel Alps lies the Oberhabach vacation estate. The Seibald family invites you to vacation on the farm in Kirchdorf, Austria. In order to offer the best possible comfort on the large outdoor terrace, the owner family decided to have a new awning system installed. In implementing this project, they called on the services of the markilux team : projects. Because our planning team also supports restaurateurs and hoteliers abroad in the planning and implementation of individual large-scale shading systems.

In the run-up to the project, the Seibalds had already thought about what requirements the new sun protection should meet. Due to the combination of design and functionality as well as the quality and durability of the products, the choice quickly fell on markilux. Another plus point was the possibility of support from the markilux team : project and a qualified, local specialist partner.

Due to the special customer requirements, the markilux team : project suggested the installation of the pergola stretch model. This is because its special drive technology makes the system particularly suitable for large outdoor areas in the catering and hotel industry. Thus, on the terrace of the Oberhabach vacation estate, a good 107 square meters of 3-field system with integrated LED-Line was used. The integration of the light creates a cozy atmosphere that is positively received by guests and prolongs the evening.

One of the main requests was to create more space for seating in the outdoor dining area. The previous umbrella solution was to be replaced. By using the pergola stretch, this creates more usable space that was previously occupied by many parasol stands. The mounting method of the pergola models makes it possible to shade a large area without losing much space. Thanks to the slender support posts, only a minimum of the ground is taken up. In the case of the vacation estate, the installation was even placed away from the terrace on the adjacent lawn. This means that the entire area can be used for entertaining guests. In total, the plant now shades a good 50 seats and thus offers sufficient capacity for the vacation guests.

Even if anchoring in the ground should not be possible, a secure fastening by stabilisation boxes is offered. This type of installation requires a little more space, but the boxes can also be used as a bench or flower box, so that the lost space can still be used optimally.

The new shading system should also protect against rain. Thanks to the large variety of awning fabrics and various types of fabric, the markilux team : project had the right solution for the desire for a rainproof terrace. The light-colored awning cover is waterproof to protect against rain and makes the use of the outdoor area flexible. In addition, a safe water drainage is guaranteed by the integrated front gutter and the columns even at a low slope of 5 °. Thus, the terrace remains attractive even in less good weather.

In addition to the functionality of the awning cover, the focus was naturally also on its appearance. The modern character of the markilux pergola system also had to match the traditional Tyrolean construction of the vacation estate and blend into the alpine landscape. For this reason, the markilux team : project recommended a light fabric cover and a shade of brown as the frame colour to match the natural wooden elements of the house. The custom-configured pergola stretch could be securely attached to the load-bearing wooden beams of the exterior balcony on the façade. Thus, the awning integrates into the overall picture of the vacation farm and exudes an Austrian flair.
